Leaders need to accept that there would sometimes be a conflict of values within their society and they have to work to reconcile them, said Barack Obama.

The former US president said that sometimes, it is not about who is right or who is wrong, but about reconciliation.

The “Leaders: Asia Pacific” programme attracted 200 emerging leaders from countries in the region for a one-year support and training initiative.

Obama was answering a question from moderator Maya Soetoro Ng, who is also his half-sister, on how the young leaders could use diversity as a strength.
